What is Identity? According to Orthodox education in the social sciences, Identity in Psychology, sociology, Anthropology and philosophy is the conception, Qualities, beliefs, and expressions that make up a person or a group. There's a new awareness that I have come to about myself, after long hours spent reflecting on myself as a human being/soul and as an African Man of Dark skin, the awareness is that of all the Countries and places in Africa, Nigeria is very Unique, Unique in many ways than can be counted. I don't believe there is any country in the whole of Africa that is half as Unique as Nigeria, Nay, Scratch that. I don't believe there is any country in the whole world that is as unique as Nigeria. Nigeria is unique because of our Multifaceted characteristics, Nigeria has no second, there is no country in the world that can be compared to Nigeria in certain aspects of life, namely our ability to suffer and smile, our ability to be good actors, our ability to pray for peace with our fingers crossed. Our ability to betray our fellow brothers and sisters for money, our ability to scatter what our brothers are suffering to build. These our characteristics as Nigerians in our various aspects of our lives make us Unique. Because I believe in my own opinion that there is no country in the world that can do the aforementioned things better than Nigerians. But these thhings that we do, do they have long term benefits for our family, society and fellow countrymen? If these actions that have come to symbolize our identity as Nigerians are not helping us live fruitful lives, then we should of a truth have a change of heart towards making change a thing Truth, let us truly rebrand our Identity as Nigerians, and let us become known for the opposite of the negative characteristics that our identity as Nigerians is associated with. Why should we do this? You might ask, we ought to change because if we do not change we will head the way of other countries in Africa and all around the world who let petty differences amongst them to fight and destroy the little things they managed to achieve during peace time, today they are all desolate and unhappy, Let us Embrace True CHANGE. And let us be proud of our Identity as Nigerians. Let us live in Peace and Unity. Long Live The Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
